Hello all,

I did something stupid, I opened an email from someone I didn't know and clicked on the link. Now whenever I go online the router is continually flashing the Internet LED and my hard drive (SSD) is continuously reading / writing...

Any thoughts on how to check our and/or fix this?

Thanks,
Tim

And I'd reboot the machine before you do a bunch of troubleshooting also.
